    Ok I'm tossing it up between 6 hosts.

    Santrex - Professional plan
    Hostivia - Business plan
    Hostmonster - over seller, strick rules
    Bluehost
    - over seller, strick rules
    ix Web Hosting - Business plan
    Host Gator - Business plan - over seller, didn't really look at the rules.

    If you could post your personal experience with any of these hosts (if any).
    Skim over the feature, if you want, I would appreciate it though.
    Tell me what you think.

    I've only used BlueHost and HostMonster. The cons to them is they don't allow file hosting. However speedy help, and rarely offline servers. Auto DDOS protection, so its pretty good.

    Ok, I've decided against those two then. I know they are very strict about what you put on the servers and everything. Seeing as they just deleted everything that was on this site.

    Edit:

    With Santrex they say this

    We also enforce no content restrictions, adult XXX content allowed, and warez linking allowed unless DMCA complaints arise we forward them to you. We DO NOT allow childporn in anyway on our servers and NO flux, rapidleech, warez hosting or any bandwidth consuming actions for any torrent hosting please check our torrent hosting, click here!


    I know what you and the host thinks are two different things but what would you consider bandwidth consuming?

    Edit2:

    They also allow video streaming, which is bandwidth consuming.

    I bought my hosting yesterday. Went with Hostmonster, but bluehost and hostmonster are owned by the same company. I seem to be on a good server. 8 CPUs and very low percentages for everything.

    I went with hostmonster, because they have great support. The rules are pretty strict but I should be able to apply to them.
